Library's state and future about data HOT 13 OPEN

I hope to spend some time on Data at the beginning of next year. I'm quite busy until the end of this year but if I get a chance, I will publish the V2 WIP as a pull request here.

I think I've finally refined the modeling API to adopt in 2.0. It will look something like this:

class User extends Model {
  // Identifiers.
  @id id = uuid()

  // Plain properties with default value.
  name = 'John'

  // Foreign keys.
  @foreignKey(Comment)
  commentIds: ForeignKey<Comment>[]

  // Relationships over foreign keys.
  @manyOf(Comment, { by: 'commentIds' }
  comments: Comment[]
}

class Comment extends Model {
  @id id = uuid()
  text = 'Default comment text here'
}

Working to see whether this API will suit all the use cases. Looking good so far.

Hi @kettanaito, are you working on this rewrite independently? I'm sure there would be plenty of people willing to help if you want to open-source the process!

@themagickoala, I plan to open the pull request eventually so others can join the effort! I didn't go that route initially because it was a full rewrite from scratch in an empty repo. That's how my mind performs best sometimes. Once I'm at a stable point, I want to open a pull request here but it will be a complete rug-pull: old code deleted, new code taking its place. This isn't incremental really but I'm doing my best to find the way to develop the software in my free time.

Sounds great, looking forward to the PR!

Would be nice if creating custom handlers was easier in v2 as well. I'd like to work on a PostgREST handler, but effectively waiting for v2 for that
